To operate the railway system safely and efficiently, a multitude of assets need to me monitored. Railway sleepers are one of these infrastructure assets, that are safety critical. To automate the monitoring process, data-driven fault diagnostics models ha ...
Atmospheric non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) play an important role in the formation of secondary organic aerosols and ozone. After a multidecadal global decline in atmospheric mole fractions of ethane and propane – the most abundant atmospheric NMHCs – pr ...
This thesis is about the design of high-performance fault-tolerant computer systems. More specifically, it focuses on how to develop database systems that behave correctly and with good performance even in the event of failures. Both performance and depend ...
Natural gas (NG) is a suitable alternative to gasoline and diesel fuels to decrease the carbon footprint of the mobility and energy sectors. Although NG is considered a fossil fuel, methane (CH4), its main component, can be produced industrially from power ...
Several technologies with sub-lithographic features are targeting the fabrication of crossbar memories in which the nanowire decoder is playing a major role. In this paper, we suggest a way to reduce the decoder size and keep it defect tolerant by using mu ...
This article addresses the problem of designing a sensor fault-tolerant controller for an observation process where a primary, controlled system observes, through a set of measurements, an exogenous system to estimate the state of this system. We consider ...
With the implementation of energy efficiency regulations for all ships, DC shipboard power systems (SPS) have attracted much attention from the shipbuilding industry due to their advantages in fuel savings with variable speed engines and the closed bus-tie ...
DC shipboard power systems have been connsidered as a promising solution for stricter environmental regulations on ships due to their main benefits in fuel savings with variable speed engines and easy integration of energy storage systems. In order to empl ...
